Hello! My name is Ray and I offer telehealth and in-person therapy for individuals. I am a therapist, skilled in heart-centered hypnotherapy and somatic work. I facilitate a profound connection with your inner wisdom, enabling the resolution of past wounds and paving the way for transformative change. I honor your story and who you are deeply and am dedicated to creating a safe and loving container for your therapeutic journey.

I understand that finding a therapist can be a daunting task, and I commend you for taking the first steps on this healing journey. I invite you to reach out; let's connect, discuss your needs, and determine if we're a good fit. Don't hesitate to contact me—I look forward to hearing from you.

Our work together is a collaborative process. A change in your life may be on the horizon, or you may feel unsure of where to begin to initiate change. We will find our way out of stuck places together. It’s your journey and I am here to support you.

In session, we may uncover relationship patterns, honor parts of self, examine coping habits, and explore the mind-body connection. We might set boundaries, shift dynamics, and let go of things that no longer serve you. Your internal wisdom is our guide as we craft a treatment plan to reach your goals.

My style is direct, strengths-based, compassionate, and trauma-informed. I take a person-in-environment, anti-racist perspective, listening closely for how societal systems and historical forces shape lived experience.

One of my gifts is being able to see a person’s light even when they cannot see it themselves. If you find yourself blocked from your own inner-wisdom and light, I’m here to help. I am a guide for exploring the inner wilderness, reflecting light into the dark places. I profoundly believe in the wisdom of the body, the healing power of the wilderness, and moving through feelings to touch into what we truly want in life. I have a background in wilderness therapy, bilingual social justice counseling, eating disorder treatment, conscious embodiment, and women’s empowerment. I currently offer virtual and nature-based sessions. I also facilitate groups and retreats focused on connection to self, others, and the world.

I look forward to connecting with your light!
